Chapter 33 Breaking the ban

Walking along the cliff, they gradually entered a dark space without even realizing it. There was no light at all, and no light came out of the cliff, the ground or the top. They had no choice but to follow the previous method, and the four of them took turns using their headlamps.

According to the order of the team, Song Yijin turned on his headlight and walked at the front, while Chen Mingzhi was behind. The four of them cautiously groped forward, even though the distance that the light from the headlight could illuminate was only two or three meters. far away.

Zhao Xixi followed Song Yijin, guessing as she walked: "I feel that the darkness here is not the ordinary black that lacks light, and the light emitted by our headlights is absorbed by the rocks here."

Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi from behind came forward to take a look, and it was indeed like this. "Normally, with light, we can see objects. Without light, we cannot see objects. This is a visual experience. But it is obviously different here. You can see that the light from the big cousin's headlight seems to be blocked by thick fog, but there is no thick fog. It's very dry here."

Jiang Xiaobao touched the rocks on the cliff and said, "It's different. The rocks are very warm, but this is probably a geological phenomenon." < /p>

The direction pointed by the dragon's roar is correct, you must go through here. The four of them didn't know what was going on for the time being, so they could only be extra careful and pass through this dark place as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from far behind. It was a human voice. Only Zhao Xixi heard it, and the other three did not notice it.

Zhao Xixi quickly asked everyone to stop, and you turned your head and listened carefully behind you.

Sure enough, Song Yijin and the others also heard it. It was the elder’s voice, and he was calling from behind. The four of them looked at each other. "He must have encountered something, otherwise he wouldn't have chased him. There is a boundary sign that prohibits them from entering. Unless there is something particularly important, he will never break through."

At this time, the three people had a tacit understanding. He looked at Chen Mingzhi. Chen Mingzhi was puzzled and felt furious, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Song Yijin asked: "Honestly, have you taken anything from others?"

Chen Mingzhi hurriedly asked Waving his hands, he said in a slightly angry voice: "With all my conscience, I really didn't take anything from them. I originally wanted to ask them for a book, but then I thought that the book was also their public property, so I didn't ask."

"Show me your backpack." Jiang Xiaobao said and wanted to take Chen Mingzhi's backpack.

Forget it. Song Yijin stopped him.

He shouted to the back: "Elder, we are here!" The loud voice immediately spread around, and it took a long time before it caused a long echo.

The four people turned around and walked back in the direction of the sound. Along the way, their moods became heavier and heavier, and when the dragon roared again, they met the young elder. The four of them were shocked, but after leaving for just a few hours, the young elder already looked haggard, with chapped lips, sunken eye sockets, and his headAlmost half of my hair fell out. At this time, he was taking heavy steps and his voice was very weak.

"Finally we can find you. Is there any way you can help us?" The elder's weak cry for help broke the silence in the darkness. Their hearts tightened, realizing that their clansmen might have encountered misfortune.

I heard that my tribe was infected with a strange disease. Without any hesitation, the four of them immediately followed the young elder back to where their clansmen were, worrying about their safety.

But the sight before me was distressing. I saw hundreds of tribesmen in the cave lying on the ground, pouring cold water on their bodies. Their faces were pale, they had a high fever, they were coughing, and they were crying out that their whole bodies were in unbearable pain. In addition to the cave hall, there are also many sick people in various cave rooms.

Moreover, the strange disease has spread rapidly to other caves. Of the nine elders in the presbytery, only two young elders can still move, and the other seven elders have all collapsed.

People who have not fallen down in the hospital and pharmacy are coughing violently while running in and out to distribute medicine to the tribesmen. It can be seen that people in the hospital and pharmacy are also sick, and the situation is quite good. Seriously.

"This is a ferocious and acute infectious disease! What kind of disease is this and how can it spread so fast?" The four of them were anxious, but none of them was studying medicine. Only Song Yijin knows a little bit about the general knowledge of a barefoot doctor.

"Will these medicines be effective if they take them?" Song Yijin stopped a middle-aged doctor in the hospital and asked.

"I have tried all the symptomatic medicines, but they have no effect. Even the high fever cannot go away. I don't know what kind of strange disease it is." The doctor shook his head weakly.

Song Yijin hurriedly ran to the front again, stopped a pharmacy person and asked: "Does the medicine have any effect?"

The other party said anxiously and nervously: "It's all useless, the pharmacy All the medicines were tried, even medicines for typhoid fever and bone injuries, but they were of no use at all. Hundreds of people were already unconscious and coughing up blood. What should we do? ?”

Zhao Xixi and the others also walked over boldly, calling softly to the sick tribesmen, trying to wake them up. Several doctors nearby were holding cloths and wiping the patients' foreheads with water to help lower the patient's body temperature.

At this time, they had an elderly doctor performing acupuncture treatment on the patient's head. Song Yijin felt that he must have a deep knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, so he walked over and asked him for advice: "Master, what disease do they have?" "

The doctor raised his head calmly, and after all the silver needles in his hands were inserted, he slowly said: "Are you four people from outside the world? "

As time passed, Song Yijin realized that since the medicine in the pharmacy could not cure the disease, it would be useless to go out to collect medicine.

He walked up to the young elder and put I explained my thoughts to him and told him that the most important thing now is to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible. From the current situation, it seems that it is probably an acute infectious disease. New residential caves must be opened to move those who are not sick yet. The elderly, women and children were all moved to the new cave for protection. During this period, if anyone showed symptoms, they were sent out. All men were required to attend the treatment assigned by the elders. There was also a cave for severe patients and a cave for moderate and mild patients.

"Elder, we will meet you in the elders' courtyard later. "Song Yijin shouted from behind.

"Come on, I have something to tell you. Let's go to the Presbyterian Court to discuss it now. "Song Yijin said to everyone.

Zhao Xixi was confused and asked what was going on?

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will talk about it after we go. When they came to the elders' house, Song Yijin asked everyone to put the independence in their backpacks. I took out the packaged masks and counted them, and there were only eight in total.

"Now each of the four of us is wearing one, keeping two as spares, and giving the other two to the two young elders of the presbytery. "

"One thing, I thought about it carefully, their acute infectious disease may be related to us. "

Hearing this, Zhao Xixi's eyes almost fell out of shock.

"How could it have anything to do with us? The four of us are in good health and don't have any diseases! "

Song Yijin sighed and said: "Obviously, they have lived underground for thousands of years, isolated from the world, and the living environment and vitality of germs are different from those in the outside world. ”

“We have just experienced the COVID-19 epidemic for several years, and we have all inevitably been infected. Although we have been cured, I have read an authoritative medical journal in the United States. Some medical experts believe that after the infection is cured, However, part of the new coronavirus will still lurk and coexist with the human body for a long time, even for a lifetime, and it is impossible to completely remove the virus. "

Song Yijin frowned and said worriedly: "So I think it is very likely that they will be infected with the new coronavirus, and their symptoms will be similar. "

"What should I do? I really didn't expect that we would bring them such a big danger. Moreover, all the antiviral drugs we carried in our backpacks were damp. "Everyone thought about it, and what Song Yijin said made sense, so they felt guilty, but there was nothing they could do.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

"It's ours Even if the medicine wasn't damp, they couldn't eat it, and it would be even worse if they did. " Song Yijin said.

"Why is this? ”

Because the living environments are different, the soil and water support the people of one place, and oursThe drug is developed based on our human body environment, but for them underground humans, it is equivalent to a severe poison. Likewise for viruses, their tolerance is too weak compared to ours. Even in terms of food, it can be said that we can eat their food, but what we eat is dangerous if they eat it. Song Yijin explained.

At this time, two young elders walked in. They looked solemn and said in panic: "Everything has been arranged. Women, children and the elderly who are not sick yet have been arranged into independent caves. People who went out to collect medicines have already collected the medicines back one after another, but the doctors in the pharmacy have already They are all sick, and now the doctors in the hospital are directly responsible for cooking."

Song Yijin distributed the masks to the two elders and said, we suspect that this infectious disease is transmitted through breathing through the mouth and nose. Wearing a mask can effectively block the route of infection.

After hearing this, the two elders suddenly realized that this was the case. They said that there are a large number of masks made of plant fiber in the warehouse, which are used in quarrying and making stone products. They are breathable, impermeable, and dust-proof.

"Although there is a difference between dust masks and anti-virus masks, under the current circumstances, some are better than none." The young elder immediately arranged to distribute the masks.

At this time, someone came to report that there were more than a thousand seriously ill patients. The atmosphere in the Presbytery was solemn for a while, and everyone was working hard to make suggestions. Song Yijin decided to go to the pharmacy to have a look.

Due to the huge increase in workload, the pharmacy has temporarily moved to the cave hall for critically ill patients. When Song Yijin, four people and two elders went over to take a look, dozens of doctors were nervously boiling newly picked medicinal materials, and the cooked decoctions were also being given to patients everywhere.

The four people also nervously participated in decoction and delivery of medicine. Seven elders in the presbytery who were seriously ill also sent people to inquire about the situation. But the situation was not optimistic. Until the next day, most of the patients who took the medicine still had high fevers, and the number of patients who were transferred to severe cases continued to increase.

The most troublesome thing is that the two young elders have fainted due to persistent high fever and overwork. However, there are only less than ten people left in the dispensary who can persist.

At this point, there is no one in charge of the elders' house, and there is no leader. The operations of the pharmacy and the hospital are close to paralysis, and the treatment of the entire clan is in an extremely serious crisis.

Song Yijin stood next to the huge stone pot for decoction, with sadness and despair intertwined in his heart, silently asking himself why he came here. Zhao Xixi, Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi are also in extreme pain, helplessness, self-blame and sadness.

But at this time, they don’t understand medicine, what else can they do?

"Now, except for the four of us, almost all of them have been infected with the virus, and the symptoms of those who are not sick are also getting worse." Zhao Xixi said.

"Yes, why didn't I expect that? They are all infected with the virus. Why don't the four of us have any symptoms yet?" A hope flashed in Song Yijin's eyes.

“Isn’t itDo the four of us have antibodies to the new coronavirus in our bodies? Song Yijin said excitedly that he seemed to have found a way to solve the problem.

"But even if the antibodies in our bodies can help them, how can we do it?" " Zhao Xixi asked.

"I have a way to fight fire with fire. "Song Yijin said mysteriously.

"Use their elixir of immortality to treat. Isn't this medicine a huge poison? Then fight poison with poison, grind it, boil it, and then dilute it a lot to weaken the toxicity. Since this medicine can make people live forever, its ingredients must have the effect of eliminating viruses. Then the diluted decoction is mixed with our blood containing antibodies and allowed to be taken by the patient. The medicine will definitely cure the disease! "Song Yijin vowed.

"Ah! "

The three of them were stunned by Song Yijin's crazy idea of ​​having a fever, and couldn't answer his words for a long time.

"Oh my God, how big of a brain do you have to come up with such a thing? Crazy method. " Zhao Xixi immediately objected.

"Yes, that is a huge poison with no antidote in the world. It is related to the lives of their entire clan. Don't treat it like a joke! "Jiang Xiaobao said.

"I agree, you can try this method! "Chen Mingzhi raised his right hand to express support.

"In this way, we can test the drug on a small scale, first find a severely ill patient to test the effect, and then expand the scope if the effect is found. "

When the dragon roars, time becomes precious. "Time can't wait any longer. If we delay it any longer, the elixir of life won't be able to save them." "Song Yijin said loudly.

Zhao Xixi and Jiang Xiaobao looked at Song Yijin's determined eyes and saw the sick tribesmen on the ground, so they had no choice but to agree.

They ran all the way to the Elder's House. Because the hanging was too high, Chen Mingzhi searched for a long time before he found a ladder and climbed to the top of the cave. When he reached out to pick up the elixir, he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted. Finally, he took off his shirt and wrapped it in his hand before taking it off.

"Why is this elixir so cold? It's colder than ice cubes. My fingers almost froze off when I touched it. "Chen Mingzhi said.

"Otherwise it is highly toxic. It is extremely cold. You can see that the white crystals on its surface exude an icy sheen. "Zhao Xixi said.

At this time, Jiang Xiaobao had gone to the pharmacy to get a stone hammer and a medicine roller, and carefully smashed the elixir open. Purple-brown crystals were exposed inside, and the strong fragrance spread out immediately, and then finely Finely smash it into pieces, grind it into powder with a medicinal roller, and then carefully wrap it in broad leaves and take it to the temporary pharmacy.

The four of them were excited and nervous. After Chen Mingzhi cleaned the huge stone pot, he took it to the temporary pharmacy. Jiang Xiaobao filled up the water together, poured all the elixir in, lit the fire and slowly added the special black wood. When the water boiled, the smell spread for several miles, and then switched to a slow fire and simmered for another half an hour.

After opening the lid of the pot, everyone was surprised to see that the full pot of soup had only a little bit left at the bottom of the pot, and the color was bright and delicate pink.color. Zhao Xixi was about to lean over and smell it, but was quickly pulled back by Song Yijin.

"The concentrated smell of the soup is also toxic and needs to be diluted a thousand times."

Then the four people and other tribesmen were busy adding water to more than a dozen large stone pots and burning them fiercely. After the boiling water warmed up, Song Yijin carefully used a stone spoon to evenly distribute the concentrated juice of immortality into each stone pot.

After the mixture was fully mixed, Song Yijin took out the knife from his backpack, put it on the fire for a while, then held the curly head of his left hand tightly, bit his teeth, and without hesitation used the knife to scratch his arm. A hole. The tribesmen were all shocked when they saw all this.

The bright red blood gushes out all of a sudden and drips into the stone bowl. As it flows, Song Yijin squeezes it with his right hand. In just a moment, half the bowl flows out.

Zhao Xixi and the three of them felt heartbroken when they saw this. Who would have thought that Song Yijin would behave like a man. Chen Mingzhi immediately took out the knife and cut it on his forearm after it was burned. The blood quickly flowed into the stone bowl and merged with Song Yijin's blood.

Chen Mingzhi signaled Jiang Xiaobao to hurry up with his eyes. Jiang Xiaobao was still a student after all. He couldn't bear it a little. He closed his eyes and made up his mind. He took the risk and made a cut. The pain was so painful that he grinned, but in the end He didn't shout out loud.

Soon, a bowl full of the blood of the three men was filled.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Xixi also took out a knife, gritted her teeth, imitated a man, raised the knife, and slashed hard.

Unexpectedly, her knife did not fall, but Song Yijin raised his hand to block it. The grown woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I wonder how much courage and determination she had before raising the knife. She was both happy and unwilling at the same time.

"The blood of three people is enough." Song Yijin said distressedly. He picked up the stone bowl, used a small stone spoon to carefully distribute the food evenly into each stone pot, and stirred thoroughly. Then, he took out a small bowl and brought it to the serious cave.
